Pantanal Action

Guided tour of Vila Nova União

Pantanal Action presents projects and activities developed in neighborhoods located in the Tietê River basin in the eastern zone of São Paulo (Vila Nova União, Jardim Lapenna, and Jardim Helena), collectively known as the Pantanal, an area subject to periodic flooding and the subject of several public administration projects. It revisits a project initially developed by ZL Vórtice, coordinated by Nelson Brissac, now in partnership with professors from FAU and EE Mackenzie, and coordinated by Afonso Castro.

Guided tours of the three neighborhoods that make up the Pantanal area.
26/09 – Vila Nova União
30/09 – Helena Garden
07/10 – Lapenna Garden

During the visits, on-site exhibitions of urbanization projects developed or proposed by public administration and university researchers will be held, with the participation of architects and engineers from CDHU, Mackenzie and ArqCoop+.

The visits will be accompanied by meetings with the communities, hosted by residents' associations such as Nova União das Artes (NUA) and CDC Jardim Helena. The discussion groups will promote an exchange of experiences and integration between the Pantanal communities and the downtown occupations—Ocupação 9 Julho, with representatives from the MSTC and MMLJ—aiming to encourage inclusive decision-making processes.

NOTE OF CONDOLENCE

With deep sorrow, the Brazilian Institute of Architects – São Paulo Department (IABsp) mourns the passing of architect and landscape architect Kongjian Yu, a global leader in ecological urbanism, and the members of his team who accompanied him, tragically killed during the filming of a documentary. The institute is honored to have had him as a participant in the 14th São Paulo International Architecture Biennial, where his transformative vision strengthened the dialogue between global challenges and local realities. IABsp emphasizes that Yu's contribution, which transcends borders, will remain an inspiration for generations and expresses its condolences to China, to the families of all the deceased, to his friends, and to all those impacted by his genius and dedication.
